FAQ
Questions about intheCupboard.
How it works, what it costs, and what makes it different.
How do I save recipes from a website?
Paste a recipe link, upload a screenshot or photo, or paste recipe text. intheCupboard imports the ingredients, instructions, and servings into your personal cookbook when it can. Works with most major recipe sites and many Instagram and TikTok posts. You can edit anything after import.
How does the weekly meal planner work?
Drag recipes from your cookbook onto a weekly calendar, tap a meal slot to search your cookbook or leave a note, or bulk schedule meals from the recipe itself. Move meals between days, set servings per slot, and see the whole week at a glance.
Does intheCupboard build my grocery list automatically?
Yes. After you plan the week and add those meals to your list, intheCupboard combines their ingredients into one smart shopping list, scaled to the servings you chose. No more rewriting the list by hand each week.
Can I share a cookbook with my family?
Yes. Households share one cookbook, one weekly meal plan, one grocery list, and one pantry. Invite the people you cook and shop with. Whoever is cooking sees the recipe, and whoever is shopping sees the list.
Can I scale recipes to a different number of servings?
Yes. Set servings per recipe or per planner slot and the ingredient quantities scale automatically, including amounts on your grocery list.
